Domingos Sávio Lyrio Simonetti (S’92–M’95)
was born in Vitória, Brazil, in 1961. He received
the Degree in electrical engineering from the
Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, Vitória,
Brazil, the M.Sc. degree from the Federal University
of Santa Catarina, Florianópolis, Brazil, and the
Ph.D. degree from the Universidad Politécnica de
Madrid, Madrid, Spain, in 1984, 1987, and 1995,
respectively.
Since 1984, he has been a Professor in the
Electrical Engineering Department, Universidade
Federal do Espírito Santo. His research interests include high-power-factor
rectifiers, active power filters, low-loss converters, and machine drives.
